CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED PATENT DOCUMENTS

This patent application claims the benefit of priority of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62/675,499, entitled “STRAP THAT SECURES TO BARBELL TO ALLOW ADDITIONAL EXERCISES TO BE PERFORMED,” filed May 23, 2018, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present disclosure relates to power lifting exercises, and particularly to a specialized strap system for use with barbells that help a user comfortably perform power lifting exercises such as deadlifts, good mornings, zercher squats, hip belt squats or the like by distributing weight across the user's back or shoulders.

BACKGROUND

Power lifting exercises mainly include a dead lift, a bench press, and a squat lift. The popularity of power lifting exercises (such as deadlifts, bench press, and squat lifts) and other exercises of like nature has grown over the years amongst users. The deadlift is a strength exercise that works several muscle groups in upper and lower body of a user, including back, glutes and legs. The good morning exercise is simple move that activates the user's core, hamstrings and glutes. Likewise, the squat lifts such as zercher squats build traps, strengthen abs, increase glute and quad activation, and even work biceps of the user, while the squat lifts such as hip belt squats work the legs of the user without putting any stress on the lower back.

The dramatic increase in the popularity of the power lifting exercises has also brought a concomitant rise in injuries in the users. For example, the squat exercise in which the user places the barbell across his shoulders, steps forward from the rack, and squats until his thighs are parallel to the floor. In this exercise, because the barbell rests on the user's shoulders user can't merely drop it aside if the user is unable to make the lift. If the user tries to do that, such act may lead to an injury to the arms of the user. Likewise, other forms of the power lifting exercises or exercises of like nature discussed above can also lead to different injuries in users specially injuries related to arms of the user. The injured users often have to wait for them to fully recover before they can once again continue to exercise. Often a times, these injuries can take a long time to heal.

Further, exercise particularly, the hip belt squats which is one of most loved exercises is usually performed in gyms and recreation facilities using specially designed hip belt squat machines. The costs for such hip belt squat machines is very high, and thus the gyms and recreation facilities charge higher fees to the users to allow them to perform such workouts/exercise.

In the past, strap systems are proposed, however setting up the strap systems available in the prior art require use of additional weight discs with the shaft of barbells to prevent sliding of the straps or chains that connect the barbell shaft to the strap system. Such additional requisite of using additional weight discs can be awkward for the user, also the user/lifter must make sure they have small enough discs available with them prior to performing intended exercises. Also, adding the weight discs would also add weight to the overall weight of the barbell while performing the intended exercises, which may not always be desirable by the user.

Further, in the past, a prior art discloses a belt that secures to the user's/lifter's waist area. The belt facilitates attachment of two straps, one to the front of the belt, and the other to the back of the belt. The straps are then attached to two ends of the shaft of the barbell, such that the barbell is balanced in a central position at the lifter's center of gravity. The barbell can then be suspended from the belt, while the belt is attached to the lifter. Although, this proposed solution in the past allows the lifter to perform hip belt squats. The problem with this solution is that the lifter/user has to keep adjusting the straps until they are in the correct location to balance the barbell. Further, the use of such existing belt and strap system is limited to performing only hip belt squats.

To overcome aforementioned problems, the present invention tends to provide a strap system for use with barbells that the user can comfortably use to perform the power lifting exercises even in the cases when the user is suffering from an injury related to his/her arms. This is achieved by the proposed strap system by distributing weight across the user's back or shoulders. Besides this, the proposed strap system also acts an alternative and cost effective solution to perform hip belt squats along with other exercises.

BRIEF SUMMARY

The specialized strap system for use with barbells that help a user comfortably perform power lifting exercises such as deadlifts, good mornings, zercher squats, hip belt squats or the like by distributing weight across the user's back or shoulders will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings FIGS. 1-10, which should be regarded as merely illustrative without restricting the scope and ambit of the disclosure.

Referring to FIG. 1, a specialized strap system 100 for use with barbells is shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The strap system 110 as shown includes a flat elongated flexible body 102. The term “flat” as used here should not be limited to meaning absolutely planar. The term “flat” must be interpreted as encompassing flat sheet-like material or one that may provide some sort of padding. The body 102 may preferably be made of materials such as but not limited to polyester, nylon or other materials with desired flexibility, durability and strength. The body 102 includes a top surface 102 a, a bottom surface 102 b, a first end, and a second end. The first end of the body 102 have a first loop 102 c configured therein, and the second end having a second loop 102 d configured therein. The flat elongated flexible body 102 further includes a third loop 102 e configured parallel to the first and second loops 102 c, 102 d in a midway along the length of the body 102 of the body 102. The loop 102 e is configured over the top surface 102 a of the body 102 as best shown in FIG. 2. According to embodiments of the present invention, the overall length of the flat elongated flexible body 102 may range from 1240 mm to 400 mm.

As shown in FIGS. 1 and 3A-3B, the strap system 100 further includes a first connecting assembly 104 a and a second connecting assembly 104 b. The first connecting assembly 104 a connects the first loop 102 c at the first end of the body 102 to one end of a barbell, specifically connects or abuts about a lip at an end of a shaft of the barbell. Likewise, the second connecting assembly 104 b connects the second loop at the second end of the body 102 to another end of the barbell, specifically connects or abuts about a lip at another end of the shaft of the barbell.

Attention should be drawn to FIG. 1 in conjunction with FIGS. 3A-3B, and FIGS. 4A-4B to understand configuration and functionality of the first connecting assembly 104 a and the second connecting assembly 104 b in detail. As seen, each of the first connecting assembly 104 a and the second connecting assembly 104 b includes a first ring 106 sewn inside the first loop 102 c and the second loop 102 d of the body 102. The first ring 106 may have a triangular shape or D shape, or any shape of like nature. In an example, the ring 106 may be single. In another example, the ring 106 may be a double ring. The connecting assembly 104 a, 104 b further includes a first chain 108. The chain 108 includes a plurality of eyelets 108 a and a second ring 110 connected at one end of the chain 108. In an example, the eyelets 108 a of the first chain 108 has a rectangular shape with rounded edges or oval shape. In an example, the second ring 110 is an O ring. As specifically seen in FIG. 4B, the second ring 110 is configured to slide over a barbell sleeve 204 and get locked about the lip 206 on the shaft 202 of the barbell 200. To elaborate, initially, the second ring 110 is inserted through the barbell sleeve or sleeve of bar 204 and slidably abutted against the lip 206 on the shaft 202 of the barbell 200. Next, once the ring 110 abuts about the lip 206 on the shaft 202, the user can load desired weight 208 on the sleeve 204 and slide the weight 208 towards the lip 206. Once the weight 208 arrives the lip 206, the ring 110 gets securely locked in between the lip 206 and the weight 208. In order to ensure the ring 110 doesn't slide away from the lip 206 over the barbell sleeve 204, the weight 208 is secured in its position using a collar or clamp (or similar kind of stopper) 210 that would lock the weight 208 in place, which in turn locks the ring 110.

The first connecting assembly 104 a and the second connecting assembly 104 b further includes a first carbine hook 112. The carbine hook 112 connects the first ring 106 present in the loops 102 c, 102 d of the body 102 to the second ring 110 configured at one end of the chain 108. In order to facilitate the connection between the first ring 106 and the second ring 110 of the chain 108, the carbine hook 112 may be selectively engaged to the plurality of the eyelets 108 a. This selective engagement helps in adjusting the overall length of the strap system 100. The term “overall length” in the context of present invention means the length of the flat elongated flexible body 102 together with the length of the first and second connecting assembly 104 a, 104 b. In the embodiment, the length of the first and second connecting assembly 104 a, 104 b (that includes the ring 106, the first chain 108 and the ring 110) may range from 260 mm to 1090 mm. The first ring 106, the first chain 108, and the first carbine hook 112 are made of metal preferably but not limited to stainless steel.

The selective engagement of the carbine hook 112 with the plurality of the eyelets 108 a of the chain is shown in FIGS. 3A-3B. As shown in FIG. 3A, the overall length of the strap system 100 will be lesser because in this case the carbine hook 112 connects the ring 106 of the loops 102 c or 102 d to the ring 110 abutted against the lip 206 on the shaft 202 of the barbell 200 using lesser number of eyelets 108 a (just three in numbers, in shown example). However, as shown in FIG. 3B, the overall length of the strap system 100 will be more because in this case the carbine hook 112 connects the ring 106 of the loops 102 c or 102 d to the ring 110 abutted against the lip 206 on the shaft 202 of the barbell 200 using more number of eyelets 108 a (six in numbers, in shown example).

Referring to FIG. 5, the strap system 100 is shown in use by an injured user for performing deadlifts, according to an embodiment of the present invention. In the example, the user 502 is shown to have his one arm fractured. It is an essence of present invention, when used by the user, the proposed strap system 100 distributes the weight across the users back or shoulders, thus the user 502 is able to lift the barbell without really having to use his arms. In order to use the strap system 100, the user 502 just need to connect the connecting assembly 104 a and 104 b as explained above to the ring or D ring 106 present in the loops 102 c and 102 d at two ends of the flat elongated flexible body 102 using the carbine hook 112. Further, the user 502 can adjust the overall length of the strap system 100 by connecting the carbine hook 112 to selected eyelets 108 a of the chain 108 as best shown in FIGS. 3A-3B. Once the user 502 has finished setting up the strap system 100 on the barbell 200. The user 502 can then loop the strap system 100 over his shoulders or back and then slowly lift the barbell 200 with added weight. The strap system 100 ensures despite the user 502 have arm injury, he is able to continue his workouts/exercises without having to keep himself away for a long time waiting on getting fully recovered.

Referring to FIG. 6, the strap system 100 is shown in use by a user for performing a good morning exercise, according to an embodiment of the present invention. The good morning exercise is popular amongst user as it strengthens user's core, hamstrings and glutes. Usually, as known, while performing good morning exercise, the user begins with a bar on a rack at shoulder height. Next, the user racks the bar across the rear of user's shoulders keeping the back tight, while the user's shoulder blades are pinched together, and user's knees are kept slightly bent. Next, the user steps back from the rack. Next, the user begin by bending at the hips, and then move them back as the user bend over to near parallel keeping user's back arched and user's cervical spine in proper alignment. Finally, the user reverses the motion by extending through the hips with user's glutes and hamstrings. While performing the exercise, for the user 602, it can be difficult to locate the Barbell in a comfortable position, especially for the lower position of the exercise. The strap system 100 of the proposed invention can comfortably and securely be rested across the back of the user's shoulders and thus enable the user to comfortably perform complete reps of this exercise. In order to use the strap system 100, the user 602 just need to connect the connecting assembly 104 a and 104 b as explained above to the ring or D ring 106 present in the loops 102 c and 102 d at two ends of the flat elongated flexible body 102 using the carbine hook 112. Further, the user 602 can adjust the overall length of the strap system 100 by connecting the carbine hook 112 to selected eyelets 108 a of the chain 108 as best shown in FIGS. 3A-3B. Once the user 602 has finished setting up the strap system 100 on the barbell 200. The user 602 can then loop the strap system 100 over his shoulders or back and then slowly lift the barbell 200 with added weight to perform the exercise. Although FIG. 6 explicitly shows the good morning exercise being performed using the barbell 200, one ordinary skilled in the art should understand the strap system 100 can be installed over conventional bars (as shown in FIG. 10).

Referring to FIG. 7, the strap system 100 of the proposed invention may be used by a user for performing hip belt squats exercise, according to an embodiment of the present invention. It is an added advantage of the proposed strap system 100 that facilitates the user 702 to perform hip belt squats exercise which is conventionally performed at gym or similar facilities using costly hip belt squat machines.

The user 702 is able to use the strap system 100 to perform hip belt squats using the loop 102 e centrally configured on the body 102 of the strap system 100. Further, in order to perform hip belt squats using the proposed strap system 100, the user 702 can use a dipping belt or any other similar belts or strap 706 that can connect user's waist region to the central loop or loop 102 e of the strap system 100. According to the embodiment, the loop 102 e is configured large enough to allow one end of a fastening chain 704 (connected to an end of the dipping belt 706) wearable by the user 702 to be pulled therethrough and connect to other end of the dipping belt 706. Once the strap system 100 is assembled on the barbell 200 and the dipping belt 706 is connected to the loop 102 e as described above, the barbell 200 can then be suspended using the strap system 100 as shown. When suspended, the barbell 200 would be centrally balanced, if the lifter/user has properly setup the distance between the two connecting assembly 104 a, 104 b from the shaft 202 to the loops 102 c, 102 d on either end. This distance has to be equal for the barbell 200 to centrally balance. Once the barbell 200 is centrally balanced by the user 702 and then the user can perform the hip belt squats as shown in FIG. 7.

Referring to FIGS. 8-10, another embodiment of the proposed strap system 100 is shown. Specifically, the strap system 800 includes a flat elongated flexible body 102 with top and bottom surfaces 102 a, 102 b, loops 102 c, 102 d, 102 e exactly as described above with respect to FIGS. 1, 2, 3A-3B, and 4A-4B. However, the first connecting assembly 104 a and the second connecting assembly 104 b used in this embodiment is different. As seen, the first connecting assembly 104 a and the second connecting assembly 104 b in this embodiment includes a carbine hook 802 (referred as second carbine hook), a carbine hook 804 (referred as third carbine hook), and a chain 806 (referred as second chain) with a set of eyelets 806 a.

In operation, the chain 806 is looped and secured on the barbell sleeve 204 or a bar using the carbine hook 802 (as seen in FIG. 10), and thereafter the chain 806 is passed through the first loop 102 c or the second loop 102 d of the flat elongated flexible body 102, and looped back around and secured to a portion of the chain 106 using the carbine hook 804 (as shown in FIG. 8).

The user can comfortably use the proposed strap system 800 to perform all the exercises discussed above. As an example, FIG. 9 shows a user performing hip belt squats using the strap system 800 similar to the embodiment described in FIG. 7. Likewise, FIG. 10 shows the strap system 800 in use by a user for performing a good morning exercise similar to the embodiment described in FIG. 6.

The strap system of the present invention described above including associated components thereof (such as hooks, chains with eyelets, rings etc) may be made using suitable materials such as nylon, polyester, metals, nylon straps or any other material or any combinations thereof and in variety of dimensions or sizes as needed. Also, the sizes/length of the chains (with eyelets) as described and shown herein are merely exemplary, a person ordinary skilled in the art should note that the chain lengths can be increased or decreased by in more eyelets to the chain or removing eyelets from the chains. Further, the proposed strap system though best works with Olympic barbells, it should be understood that, it can be used with any other barbells or bars by incorporating suitable design changes.
